Really gets the job done!

Pros:

Gets rid of excess oil
Treats pimples
Rereshing, clean feeling

Cons:

Fragrance

I started using this cleanser 3 weeks ago. I use it in the morning and at night. I have found it really eliminates and diminishes the oil on my skin, but it doesn't not completely dry out my skin. My face is still left with a bit of natural shine. I have also found it helps cleanse and shrink pimples, and leaves my face feeling soft and clean. The only complaint I have is the fragrance. It is a little too strong for my liking, but it is not terrible. It does a really good job getting all the oil and dirt off my face that I can bypass the smell. Overall it is an amazing product, and I highly recommend for people with oily skin!

I like it

Pros:

Cleanses well

I have been using this product for probably about two weeks now. I do feel that it really cleanses well. I am still broken out; however I am hoping that this is just part of clearing my skin up (getting all of the nasties out!) I have noticed some clearing in some areas, though. I am going to stick with the cleanser, as well as the moisturizer, to see how it goes.

Pros:

Clean dispenser with cap
Does not over-dry
Reduces oil / skin shine

Cons:

Foam is not dense
Feels only like a surface clean

I had bad acne in high school, and 15 years later, I'm still battle with flare-ups. Always had very oily skin, and the derm recommended this recently. First, I don't really care for foam washes, as I never feel like I can get enough to put on my face. This stuff felt like a surface clean and not a deep clean, lacking the "freshness" of other cleansers I've used. So I first used it twice a day for one week as my only cleanser, broke out after a few days, then stopped. Went back to a Neutrogena cleanser and I cleared up within a few days. Waited one month, then used it again for 2 weeks, but this time in addition to Neutrogena, and broke out in the same way AGAIN. I stuck with it an extra week and the acne was persistent and unrelenting-- something new every day. Stopped using it and cleared up within a week. It did help cut back on oil, but getting the breakouts was not a good trade off. Based on the other reviews, it looks like it has worked well for other people, just didn't work for me.

Pros:

Very gentle
is a foam so there is no need to lather
cleanses skin nicely
does indeed reduce oil (I use it with the paired cetaphil oil-control moisturizer)

Cons:

Pricey

Overall this cleanser gets the job done, is very gentle on my sensative, oily skin and helps reduce my sheening complexion when used in combination with the oil control moisturizer. My only complaint on the moisturizer is that it runs and becomes visable on my face when I sweat, which is a problem for me as an athlete. I use this cleanser and moisturizer in combination with Dan's BP and everything is going smoothely.

Pros:

Lasts a long time, Super gentle, Thoroughly cleanses without over drying

Cons:

None really!

I had always used Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer on my skin, but found that the cleanser didn't clear out my excess oil well enough. Then they released this and I thought, what the heck! I bought it along with the accompanying spf30 moisturizer (also great, by the way). The fact that its a FOAMING wash (it comes out in foam form so you don't have to lather) is great because it means I can be even gentler on my skin. I've opted to use this cleanser, the spf30 moisturizer, and regular Cetaphil lotion rather than the acne.org cleanser and moisturizer. I still use the BP (which has worked well for me), and I just ordered the AHA+ to help with overall skin awesomeness! :D

Pros:

Cleans skin
Does not over dry
light smell
Very easy to use
cool looking bottle
keeps oil at bay
great for acne prone skin

Cons:

a bit pricey

I bought this cleanser after be given a coupon from the derm for it, after the first night i notices my skin felt better, it felt soft and smooth and clean but not overly dry, i also use the oil control moisturizer to go with it, greatest combo yet, has kept break outs away so far , the smell is very nice and it controls oil very well. alot of people have the misconception that it eleminates oil all together. I believe that the cleanser works best when used with the oil control moisturizer. All together the cleanser and moistuizer came to 32.00 without the coupon,So worth it. My acne is getting better and better each use
